Matron Cui immediately slammed the table, her face filled with anger. "That's enough, Xia Zhi! This is the witness you found yourself. How can you say you ordered him to do something?! Someone, take him away and hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment!"
Xia Zhi's tears, snot, and saliva kept flowing, and she kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Mammy, I am innocent, Mammy! Mammy!!!"
Seeing her like this, Aunt Cui felt pity for her and a little disgusted. She frowned and asked, "What about the others? Was what Chun Tao said just now a lie?"
"No, Madam." A group of palace maids answered with lowered heads.
Xia Zhi's heart suddenly sank. She stared at everyone present fiercely. If looks could kill, everyone present would have died a thousand times over.
The palace maids present were no longer afraid of her. After all, she was just a dying cat. How could she act so arrogantly? So they all glared back at her without hesitation.
They had already had enough. If Xia Zhi was not of a slightly higher status than them, they would not have been restricted and looked down upon by her in every way.
Tang Wan disliked her and loved seeing her defenses break. She curled her lips and smiled at Xia Zhi, silently taunting her with her lips: "Enjoy it, Aunt Xia Zhi."
As Xia Zhi was dragged away, her hair was loose and she kept shouting, "It was Tang Wan who changed their memories. She was the one who ordered everything."
Everyone present thought she was crazy, only Tang Wan blinked at her and gave her an innocent smile.
Nanny Cui looked at her with a complicated expression. Her gray eyes looked a little scary. Tang Wan was not afraid of her. She just looked at her with a smile.
Aunt Cui lowered her eyes and took a deep breath: "Let's all go."
"yes."

"Why did you help me just now?"
"What?" Chuntao turned to look at Tang Wan who stopped her.
"I said, why did you help me just now? You were clearly not there."
Chun Tao wrinkled her eyes and nose, and one cheek bulged, as if she was thinking about how to answer this question. After a while, she said, "I'm not helping you, but I hate her too. She only wants my money. I hate her so much."
When she spoke, her face showed many expressions, but they did not make people feel annoying, but rather cute. Tang Wan found her interesting and asked curiously: "Why, she also took your money?"
Talking about money, Chuntao immediately became like a furious kitten: "That's right, she and her niece are just like Zhou Paopi, they just want to take all our money. I finally saved a few silver coins to buy cakes and food, and she took it all. I almost hate her to death."
Tang Wan thought she was cute, but she couldn't trust someone easily, so she asked tentatively: "If I tell you that I can always give you fresh cakes and money, but the price is that you can never betray me, would you agree?"
Chun Tao's eyes immediately turned into stars: "Really? I am willing to serve you, Miss!!"
Tang Wan felt strange: "Why do you call me Miss?"
Chun Tao chuckled and said, "They all call you that, so I'll follow suit."
Seeing Tang Wan's expressionless face, she cautiously moved closer: "Hey, do you still keep your promise to me? If you are unhappy, how can I call you? I won't call you anymore in the future."
Tang Wan held her forehead, confirming that the little girl in front of her was a simple and simple girl. She took out a tael of silver and handed it to her: "Didn't you say you wanted some cakes? Go buy them."
Chun Tao bit her lip, blinked her eyes, and pushed her hand back, "I can't take it. I haven't done anything for you."
"So what do you do?"
Chun Tao clapped her hands and said, "I can do a lot. I can embroider, cook, do my hair, and make clothes. I can do all of these."
"Then are you willing to follow me and work for me? I will make you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the future."
Chun Tao thought about it, gritted her teeth and agreed: "What do you want me to do? As long as it's not treason, I will agree to it."
"Don't worry, it's not a complicated matter. However, you have to take this first." Tang Wan said, taking out a pill from her sleeve.
"What is this?"
Tang Wan looked at her calmly and said, "This thing is called the Heartbreak Pill. If you betray me, it will make you live a life worse than death."
Chun Tao's face turned pale with fear, and she stepped back repeatedly: "Forget it, forget it. I like money, but I have to have the life to spend it."
"Just listen to me. I've already said it all. It will only take effect if you betray me. If you are loyal to me, I promise that nothing will happen to you."
She still had that ordinary face at the moment, but her clear eyes made people trust her inexplicably. Forget it, wealth and honor are achieved through risk, and she, Chuntao, was not a treacherous person. She grabbed it and swallowed it without hesitation.
The bitter taste made her face wrinkle. "Okay, now can you tell me what you want to do?"
"I want to be the most noble woman in this palace." Tang Wan whispered close to her ear, her voice so soft that it seemed like it could be blown away by the wind.
Chun Tao's pupils suddenly shrank, and she clutched her sleeve tightly to prevent herself from crying out in surprise. However, they were now in the same boat, and her eyes were firm: "Okay, I will always be loyal to you."
Tang Wan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You have to be loyal even if you don't want to. If you don't believe me, you can think about betraying me in your heart."
Chuntao thought about it in her heart as she meant, and suddenly she felt unbearable abdominal pain, as if someone was cutting her flesh with a blunt knife.
"Girl, girl, it hurts..."
Tang Wan: "If you stop thinking about it, the pain will go away."
After this incident, Chuntao admired Tang Wan even more, and secretly made up her mind that for the sake of her own future and wealth and glory, it would be better not to have any thoughts of betrayal.
"Host, there is real poison in the system space, why don't you feed it the real thing?"
Xiaobai licked his paws, looking quite lazy and not caring about Chuntao's life.
Xiaobai only treats her as his own, so he doesn't care about other people. At worst, he can give her the antidote after confirming that she is really loyal.
But Tang Wan is a modern person after all. She admits that she still can't bring herself to do it to a living person. Anyway, the abdominal pain pills are quite effective. Although they are not fatal, they can still cause unbearable pain.
Moreover, this will not only not burden her mind, but also save her points for detoxification pills, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
…………
After dinner, the other three went to bed quickly. After all, they had to get up early the next day. And for some reason, they always felt a little afraid of Tang Wan. When they saw her, their cheeks would ache slightly. So they didn't talk to her, but they wouldn't target her like before.
Tang Wan was happy to see it happen. It would be best if no one caused trouble. After all, although slapping someone felt good, it also hurt her hands. She rubbed her stomach. She didn't eat enough for dinner. She had vegetables and porridge every day, and she was about to vomit.
"Xiaobai, can you give me something to eat?"
Xiaobai's big tail rubbed her wrist: "No, host, this is against the rules~"
Tang Wan sighed inwardly and went to sleep under the covers. Forget it, she wouldn't be hungry if she fell asleep.
